I did a hair mask the other week and I had a huge hair ball by the time I was done washing the oil out. I normally shed more than normal when I do a hair mask, but this time it was different. I counted out 100 hairs from the ball and it was only about 1/3 of the total amount! I did a hair mask again a little over a week later, and it was almost the same. Only a slight improvement.
I wash my hair as gently as possible. Then when I condition, it’s like chunks come out…. Too much oil? The only thing I have changed in the last month is adding Avocado and Rosemary Oil to my hair masks. Could I possibly be having a reaction to the Avocado Oil? Has anyone else had a reaction to any oils?
I also started sleeping with my hair up this year. It’s helped to reduce split ends and tangling, but I have had to try a few different methods because my hair is so slippery that it pulls to one side or the other during the night - pulling out the side with tension… Could wearing my hair up while sleeping cause extra shedding? I know that if I leave my hair up all day and then take it out, I will have quite a few hairs that would have fallen out during the day come out at once.
I just bough Mill Creek’s Biotin Shampoo and Avalon’s Biotin Conditioner and used them last night. I have been EXTRA careful while brushing and have kept my hair up. The shedding wasn’t horrible during that shower.
Anyone know why we shed more during the fall? The 1st time I had hair loss it happened at the beginning of fall… I lost about 1/3 of my hair after I had my son and all of it has been growing back for almost 2 years. It looks normal again, but now I can tell the top /crown is thinning. I’m worried that everything I have changed in my routine was for nothing and I have some kind of underlying problem…
